Morning Docket: 04.24.19

* Impending constitutional crisis alert: President Trump is opposed to his White House aides -- especially former White House Counsel, "real lawyer" Don McGahn -- testifying before Congress because they already cooperated with special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation. [Washington Post] * Meanwhile, fake lawyer Michael Cohen, who served as legal counsel to Trump for about decade, will soon report to his Federal Correctional Institution - Otisville, which has been referred to as a "castle behind bars." At least he'll get to hang out with The Situation. [Daily Beast] * Bill Cosby is suing Quinn Emanuel over its "unconscionable fees," claiming that the firm overstaffed his case to the tune of $8.55 million over the course of nine months. Maybe stop checking you emails so much? [American Lawyer] * George and Amal Clooney will be on campus at Columbia Law tomorrow for the official launch of TrialWatch, an initiative that will monitor trials acros the globe to protect human rights and eventually create a global justice index. [Law.com] * Another happy ending for Robert Kraft (for the time being): Prosecutors have been blocked from releasing footage that allegedly shows the New England Patriots owner receiving sexual favors in a massage parlor. [Reuters] * On the next episode of "Empire," Olabinjo and Abimbola Osundairo, the brothers who helped stage a racist and homophobic attack against Jussie Smollett, will file a defamation lawsuit against the actor's attorneys. [Big Law Business] * Cooley Law has a new president and dean following the departure of Don LeDuc. James McGrath will join the school from Texas A&M Law, where he serves as associate dean of academic support and bar services. Good luck!
